![]() The Wi-Fi Alliance is an international non-profit organization whose leadership in marketing, technology and advocacy programs helps ensure the best user experience with Wi-Fi. It was founded in 1999. Its Wi-Fi CERTIFIEDTM program has been a driving force in the growth of the Wi-Fi industry originating with computer networking and now evident in consumer electronics and handsets. ABI Research predicts that handsets will comprise more than 25 percent of total Wi-Fi devices shipped this year, growing to one-third of total shipments in 2012. |
Among carriers, T-Mobile has long been a leader in the integration of Wi-Fi technology. In 2007, the company was the first U.S. carrier to launch a converged Wi-Fi/mobile calling service to consumers. Earlier this month, T-Mobile launched a converged Wi-Fi/mobile calling service offering for enterprise customers. About 40 percent of T-Mobile's device line-up offers broadband data speeds over Wi-Fi.
